(5 stars) ***** Kenny Mathieson - The Scotsman

"SCOTLAND'S two leading jazz musicians convened for this duo performance at The Hub in Edinburgh in July and played in dazzling and highly inventive fashion on an intriguing mix of standards and contemporary jazz tunes, many of which were not part of their usual repertoire elsewhere. The vivid live recording captures much of the tension, spontaneous energy and exhilarating interplay of ldeas which made it such a memorable occasion." - Dave Gelly - The Observer

Tommy Smith (saxes), John Scofield (g), James Genus (b), Clarence Penn (d)
Smith dug into his long-aquired jazz resources to reveal yet further depths of authority, with the urge to stretch a tune to its limits tempered by a warmth of feeling and a bluesy sense of communication. THE HERALD
